LET THEM ALONE.

There are those who think that the
quiet which prevailed at the burying
of the anarchists is OminOus. a promi-
nent New York police official is quoted as
saying that he would rather have seen a
stormy time. He, as many others do,
constructs the absence of loud demon
stration at the funeral to mean that the
anarchists have agreed among them
selves upon a well settled plan for
future vengeance, and that there is to
be great deal of trouble yet growing
out of the execution of the leaders at
Chicago last Friday. The GLOBE does
not share in this apprehension. We
believe that the orderly funeral cere-
monies Oh Sunday were the directresult
of the wholesome fear of the law
which has been inspired by re-
cent events. If there is any future out
break or violent demonstrations here
after, it will be provoked by the bitter
tore of the Chicago press. If the Times
and Tribune continue to apply opprO-
briOus epithets to the dead leaders as
they have been doing since the eXecu-
ton, there is no telling what the out
come of it may be. There is no sense
in the way the Chicago newspapers are
keeping up the fire after the battle is
over. The leaders are dead and an
archy is crushed. Now let that be an
end of it. The less the Chicago news
papers and the Chicago authorities have
To say about it, the better it will be all
around. While the public at large are
satisfied with results, there is no mis-
taking the fact that there is strong
undercurrent of public sentiment that
neither the Chicago courts nor the Chi
cago newspapers gained any special
credit in the performance. They at
least have not gained any notable Tepu-
tatiOn for impartiality. Under these
circumstances the ordinary rules of pro-
priety would suggest, if no other reason
existed, that silence should be preserved
all around. But there is another reason
why there should be no further agita-
ton of the hanging episode. 1t is, as
we have indicated, calculated to pro-
yoke the anarchists into another out
break. There is no fear that in case of
an outbreak but what the law would be
able to assert its supremacy in the end.
just as it did in the Haymarket disturb
ance, but there might be fearful loss of
life and destruction of property
before 1t was done. The anarchists are
a fanaticaI crowd. When aroused to
desperation they do not stop to reason
out the consequences of their action.
They are quiet now, and the wise thing
to do is to keep them quiet. They are
impressed as they have never been be-
fore with the majestic strength of the
law, and the safe plan is to let them
severely alone with their reflections, for
+ if let alone the spirit of anarchy will die
a natural death. Its food is agitation
and bitterness of opposition. Such eX-
preSSiOnS as now emanate from the Chi
cago press are only calculated to keep it
alive

DRAMATIC NOTES.

1t is pity to see good play with so
many fine dramatic situations in it so
badly butchered up as michael Stro-
golf" was by the Andrews; Minuet
Carnival company at the Grand last
night. When FRED BANGS used to
play the title role, the play had sensa-
tiOnal swing to it that was sure to catch
the audiences. But there wasn't a
single catch feature in last nights per-
Torrance, except the stage settings and
the special jugglery work done by MEL
TON. The stage scenery is very good,
but when that is said about all is said.
A male premier is about as much out
of place in ballet as a man milliner in

The local talent in the ballet had the
appearance of being hump-backed.
The dOnkeys performed well.

THE NORTHWEST LOOMS.

The Northwest is to get another rep
reSentatiye in the cabinet. Mr.. Villas
is to be promoted peg higher and DoN
DICKINSON. of Michigan, is to fill the
vacancy in the Office of postmaster gen
eral. That is the news that comes from
Washington. and it comes in such fairly
authentic shape as to leave but little
doubt of its correctness. 1t is very
nice deal all around. and the country is
to be congratulated on the presidents
success in getting good material in his
cabinet. Mr.. Villas deserves his pros
pective promotion and Mr.. DICKINSON
possesses all the qualifications for a
postmaster general.
The point of most significance in the
matter is the prominence given to the
Northwest by hOnoring this section
with two representatives in the cabinet.
The reasons for it are apparent. In the
first place, Mr.. CLEvELAND'S recent
visit to this section impressed him with
its importance. According to his own
admissions he has never before realized
the greatness of this Northwestern sec
ton nor the Importance of its relations
to the whole Union. He will now take
advantage of the first opportunity to
give official recognition of the position
the Northwest is entitled to occupy. In
the second place, Mr.. CLEVELAND
doubtless recognizes that the tariff is
to be the leading issue in the next ma
tional canvass, and he thus emphasizes
his identity with the Western idea on
that question.

A DULUTH SHORT LINE.
1t Will Be Opened Tomorrow.

Special 10 the GlODe.
DULUTH. Mimi, Nov. 14.-To-mOrrow
evening it is expected that the Duluth
short line, the new line of the st. Paul
IL Duluth between Thomson and
Duluth, willbe in condition for running
of cars. the rOad-bed having been COM
pleted and rails all laid with the eXcep-
ton of about two miles in section s,
about midway between Thomson and
West End. The road runs from the
Wisconsin shore to Grassy Point. where
new station is being built, and from
there to junction with the present line
at Thomson. There is yet to be built
a side track four miles this side of
Thomson, but this will be completed
in month. AT present there are about
500 men at work completing the road,
but through the months of July and
August as many as 1,200 men were en-
ployed The pay roll for each of these
months amounted to over $4,000. The
men are paid 81 per day.
Camps are located along the
line about mile apart, there being
fourteen of them on the road. The road
is twelve and One-half miles long from
Thomson to the junction at the point
and from there to West Superior three

though trains will probably be run to-
morrow night for trial trips. The labor
of building the road has cost about $780,
600 not including supplies and material.
The preliminary line was run through a
year ago and work commenced Jan. l,
and was to have been completed by Oct.
l, but on account of the great scarcity
of men and teams it was impossible to
finish so soon. During the summer
teams could not be hired at any price.
This line is two and one-half miles
shorter than the old liue along the river,
and there is not a bridge on the whole
line from Thomson to Grassy point,
fourteen miles. The grade has been re-
duced to fifty-two feet to the mile, while
the old line had grade of 100 feet and
over per mile. The sharpest curve on
the new road is now four degrees in
place of ten degrees as formerly, and
the total curvature is much less than be-
fore.

Chips From the Ties.

Mr.. Hannaford, who was taken down sud
denly Saturday, by what is termed nervous
prostitution, was still confined to his room
yesterday, and all visitors, even those from
the Northern Pacific Office, were prevented
from seeing him. The physicians attending
him state that his illness is not due to a stroke
of paralysis, but 10 nervous prostration,
caused by overwork, and that he will prob
ably be confined to his room for three or
four weeks, and that he is doing well.

An Odd Genius.

Macon Telegraph.
There is an odd genius engaged in the
railroad business who has worked OH
every foot Of the freight trains from the
foot rest of the pilot as fagman to the
cabOOSe as conductor. He is of fidgety,
restless nature, and a job of more than
six months duration grows mOnOtonouS.
When he gives up one position he hops
on another road and takes any position
offered him, whether it be train hand or
engineer, brakeman or conductor. If
he starts on the lowest round he soon
works his way up, as he is one of the
best railroad men in the country. 1t
sometimes happened that when he
couldn't get job ON the railroad he
would do something else.
In Texas town he took a position as
bartender. He kept on an average
drunk for three months and pleased his
boss until a Baptist preacher came
became fast friends, until one day he
won all the preachers money and he
sought to get even by preaching SER
mon to his congregation of one, and by
pieturing the loneliness of the congre-
CATIONS old mother i'll Georgia, who had
none but the fOndeSt wishes for her err
ing son in far-aWay Texas. This ser
mon deeply impressed the railroad bar
tender and he kept sober for five days
on stretch. At the end of this time
the owner of the bar called him up and
told him he had no further use for him.
''By the way" said the bartender, ''if
you don't mind telling it, I'd like to
know what you turned me off for" The
proprietor replied: you've been
drunk for the past five days, and don't
want any drunken men around me-"
He had mistaken the conduct of his bar
tender, when sober.

THE HOUSE FAMINE.

The house famine in st. Paul grows
apace and there are few indications of
its coming to an end in the immediate
future. Houses for rent, houses for
sale are alike conspicuous for their alb
sence, and the intending citizen is
obliged to go elsewhere for an abiding
place more or less dySpeptic in its ten
denotes, if, perchance, the temporary
abode is a hotel or boarding house. The
experience of two well-tO-dO men who re-
Gently came to st. Paul with a
view of making the city their future
home illustrates the situation well. One
wanted to buy modern residence and
was prepared to pay good price for it;
the other wished to rent. Each adver-
tised long and earnestly and neither re-
ceived satisfactory reply. The reason
was very simple: the houses were not
to be had.
1t is not that houses have not been
built in st. Paul. Many have been
erected. It's more than probable that st.
Paul'S building record for this year will
be greater than ever before in her his
tory. But the building has by no means
kept pace with the incoming of new
people to the city. 1t has been done
chiefly by people who, for some time
residents, have built for themselves, not
for others. But for the city's welfare it
is to be hoped that different order of
things will soon obtain. The reasons
which prevailed some months ago
against the building of suburban resi-
dences and urban apartment houses no
longer exist in the same intensity.
Transportation is easier, or at least
will be as soon as the cable line begins
operations, and there is pretty definite
promise Of other modes of transit.
Money is easier and is again seeking in
vestment. 1t cannot find better ave-
nue. than that which leads to building
residences in St. Paul. The season Is
at hand when Eastern capitalists are in
the habit of winding up old investments
and looking around for new means of
disposal for their surplus wealth.
We cannot too strongly advise them
to view the st. Paul field, and, as early
corners in the field, TO reap the profit
which has come to so many Eastern i'll
vestors, who. in other cities, have gone
! into higher class tenement house build
| ing on an extensive scale.

THE SOLDIERS, HOME.

ment of Surgeon of the Institu-

Our reporter. meeting Mayor Ames
last evening, said:
"Say, Mr.. Mayor, was present in
your Office this afternoon when Major
Henderson came in and said he was au-
thorized to tender you the position of
surgeon Of the Soldiers home. 1 do not
feel authorized to use the information
without your consent"
Mayor AmeS-YeS. the major did
make the tender, and / accepted it with
much gratitude. l am in favor of the
state taking care of it's citizen Soldiery,
who risked their lives to preserve this
great nation. The nation was preserved
through their efforts, and we can
do no less than care for the unfortunate
poor among those old veterans. 1t would
be station of honor for me to care,
professionally and personally, for my
old comrades, and l thank the commits
si0ners for the appointment. There is
no political significance to this, as both
parties stand pledged to keep the old
saviorS of the country, and to repay, as
far as the state can, the debt Of graft
tude we owe them. The soldiers home
will be opened next week, with about
forty inmates in the temporary quar-
tiers which have been provided at Min
nehaha, and if my appointment is con-
firmed by the commission, l shall at
once enter upon my duties"

AN AXARICIOUS CITY.

The city of Litchfield, Illinois. ought
to be thoroughly ashamed of itself. or at
least the authorities now conducting
the affairs of the city should. Southern
Illinois is suffering from water famine
which is unparalleled in that section of
the country. Stock are dying for lack
of water, and farmers are hauling the
much-priZed fluid ten miles. In all that
region Litchfeld is the only town hay
ing an abundant water supply, and
Litchfield is making the necessities of
her neighbOrs a source of profit. She
furnishes tanks of water to towns ac-
cessible by rail at fixed price; and, as
the people of the towns and villages
must have the water or die from thirst,
Litchfield is driving a thriving trade
With an abundant water supply there
is no reason why she should not furnish
water free to any town sending for it.
The spirit she displays is greatly at
variance with the usual Western gener-
osity, and though the sufferers can not
do otherwise than pay the tribute de-
manded, LitchfieId will be we'll remem-
bered should she herself ever have an
hour of need.

FIGHT AHEAD.

fpa1

There Is a Prospect OF a Very
Active One Between the North
ern Pacific and Wisconsin Cen
trail.
There has not been much said lately
about the contest of the Northern Pa
cific road to gain possession of the Wis
consin Central, still it is very well I'M
derstoOd that such scheme is on foot
and will be carried out ultimately. A
gentleman that is we'll informed in re-
gard to the purposes of the managers
in this scheme said yesterday that 1.-The
general features are agreed upon, and
include the centering of all the through
business of the Northern Pacific road
over the Wisconsin Central, instead of
distributing the same to all the Chicago
roads, as it has done heretofore. This
scheme is largely the work of MI. Rock
Teller, of the Standard Oil company,
who owns large portion of the Wis
consin Central road. All this talk
about Willard furnishing large amount
of money through German bakers is a
blind. The Standard Oil company fur
nishes the money, and not the
German bankers. Now, assuming
that this alliance IS to be made, and
there is no doubt about it, what is going
to be the result? ShreWd railroad men
predict that there will be double alli-
ance, and that the other will be between
the Manitoba and Burlington. 1t is
clear that the Manitoba and the North
ern Pacific are just entering into con-
test for the tranScOntinental business,
which will commence at Helena i'll a
few DAYS and be extended west of that
point as fast as the Manitoba can be eX-
tended toward the Pacific. 1t is very
evident that the fight is to be bitter
one. The Manitoba does not forget
that when it wanted to ship its supplies
for the extension west of MinOt over
the Northern Pacific, that road put On
a rate that prohibited the ship
ment. The Northern Pacific has
been continually bvilding up into
the Red River valley and the Devils
Lake legion, thus going into the terri
tory naturally belonging to the Mani
toba road and lately it las built line
straight north from Grand Forks to the
boundary line for the very purpose of
cutting into the Manitoba business.
The Manitoba has already made saw
age cut on the rates to Helena, which
the Northern Pacific prOclaimS de-
termination to meet. If the Northern
Pacific strengthens itself by securing
an outlet at Chicago, what more natural
than that the Manitoba should do the
same? Why should it not make an alli-
ance with the Burlington IL Northern?
If the latter is shut off from all east
bound business with the Northern Pa
cific, what would be more natural than
to form an alliance with the Manitoba?
You may rest assured that things are
all working this way"

Daniel Manning's New York Life.

OtuiCI 4hdithfhS 1NCW 1oA h AhACs
Danniel Manning's physician told
him some time ago that he must not
climb stairs at his office or even at home
no matter whether it was flight of
twenty or a staircase of ten steps. Mr..
Manning was instructed that it would
not be advisable TO exhaust any of his
energy in such a way, says the New
York Sun. 1t became necessary for
him, therefore, to have an elevator
erected in his new home, at 80 Fifth av
enue. 1t is worked by series of pull
leys and balance weights, and runs from
the rear of the main entrance hall to the
second floor, upon which Mr.. Manning
has his sleeping apartments.
The eX-Secretary'S New York life has
settled into regular channels. He rises
about eight, breakfasts and reads the
papers between nine and ten, and then
leaves in his coupe for his bank. There
he attends to business until 2 p. m, or
little later, when his carriage takes him
home. Dinner is served then, and rest
or reading follows until seven, when the
family have supper. In the evening

well selected collection of books at AL

he goes to bed. Many of his visitors
are politicians, and talk plenty of poll

in return. On other subjects he is more
outspoken. Every day after dinner the
family goes out riding often accOmpan-

trick of the prison officials to compel
